Here in 2024 and still modifying my Ender. Glad videos of such high quality like this are out there.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

I feel you. Printers are getting faster and easier to use out of the box, but ultimate they're using a lot of the same components we always have been. The firmware made so made leaps and bounds and that means we still get access to it on some of our "antiquated" machines. Happy to continue putting these videos out and glad you're still carrying the flame!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

One thing to remember when adjusting z offset. If you adjust it live make sure you save that adjustment directly after the print completes. There will be a small disc icon within the Tool section (next to where you adjust z offset) and that's what you'll use to save the recent adjustment. Hope this helps.

I can't thank you enough for this great video. Perfectly explained and with a clear & good structure. Now I've got my settings dialed in an the tip with the post-it and the marker was a "HEUREKA!" moment for me, getting precise Offsets not only for the Tpuch probe but also for my second Extruder! (I've wasted nearly 500g filament for all the calibration STLs) I've got exact 5 years Experience in 3D printing with MarlinFW but just one month with Klipper. And an IDEX printer. And a modified one . So again: THANK YOU!

Trying to get these settings correct for a single extruder printer can be tough, but being able to balance all this info and then apply it to a second extruder is another thing entirely!!

Yea it's never all that easy, always some break in period, but I'm sure you'll be there soon. One thing I always remind people is even though the mesh showing some irregularities it doesn't mean it won't give you good prints. Sometimes we can get so caught up in getting everything exact we forget to see how well it is printing. Of course sometimes that isn't that case either and you need to hone it in a little more, but if you haven't tried a few prints with that mesh I'd say give it a shot and see how it looks .

Oh wow that's awesome to hear, thank you!! These videos take me a lot of time to make and whenever anyone leaves a comment like thiabit truly means the world to me. Thank you!

[@amandamoger9648]

Wow...after failing to set my cr10s up with a 3dtouch on the sonic pad your video stepped me through it easily. Thank you so much for your efforts...... regards from Tasmania....

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Amanda thank you so so much! Not only for the nice comment but also the very generous tip! That really means a lot to me. Iove making these videos, and when they help people navigate through Klipper and are happy with the outcome it makes my day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@amandamoger9648]

Hi...I appreciated the effort you put into explaining the setup, @@PrintsLeo3D having a while ago tried to add the 3dtouch using th3d's marlin etc etc the Klipper experience is a game changer. Just bought a neptune 4pro which introduced me to it, sonic was obvious to add my cr6se and cr10s to. 1 question, I couldnt see where to add the bed mesh profile line to in my config, dosent have the start or end macro section anywhere in it, did a few random insert positions but kept telling an error. Or do I add the whole 15 lines or so not just the 1 bed mesh line. I did add it to the cura cr10s start profile which I hope works. thanx again.........

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Because you're running some Creality printers the Sonic pad isn't a bad option, but unfortunately overall it can be a little tricky. I don't have the Sonic pad but it definitely does have a start_print (or print_start) macro somewhere. It doesn't necessarily have to be written within the printer.cfg but it will need to be "included". What I mean by "included" is that any macro can be written within a different text file and then pulled into the printer.cfg usually at the top of the printer.cfg you'll see a bunch of files being included, it would look like this: [Include macros.cfg] Then all the information within the text file macros.cfg would be used just like printer.cfg Using the include function is a way to clean up your files and make them easier to read. So if there is no print_start macro in printer.cfg then check what files are being included and see if it is one of those.

Just completely customized my Ender 3 V2, added the 400x400 extender kit and the sprite pro extruder. this video came in handy.

[@WKReddingMD]

Excellent video! Very thorough and worked perfectly! Thank you very much for this. Worked like a charm on my Ender 3 Pro.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Awesome! Happy to hear the E3Pros are still out there doing there thing! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment !

[@clairevphoto]

Wow wish I stumbled on your video a few days earlier when I was struggling with the bltouch. Your explanation is better than the Klipper documentation with the probe testing part... i might have avoided a crash on the bed, that only caused the PET support of my extrudeur to crack... thank god I had another printer to print it again. 😅

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Printers helping printers! I always tell my wife that's why I need so many 3d printers, when one goes down I have another to make it work again lol glad the video helped and thanks or leaving a comment!

[@clairevphoto]

@@PrintsLeo3D haha you're welcome. I feel it's less toxic here on KZbin than on facebook. Depends on the groups running it.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Yea like anything else on the Internet you gotta just hope you run into people who a re open minded. I try and foster that environment here and on my discord, so if you need help that's the place !

[@realhusky]

This is one of the most thorough guides out there. You rock my man!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Thank you much! Klipper has so much to offer I just do my best to make some of it's tools easier to understand!

[@BorizillaTV]

El mejor tutorial que he visto para calibracion, por fin alguien se dio el tiempo de explicar a detalle todo :)

[@remcovansanten]

Wow, finally.. finally... finally managed to configure my BL touch on my Ender 5 Pro to its best. Thanks!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

So happy to hear it! Now it's time to enjoy that printer!

[@calmlytech]

Your setup videos are so clear and universal. Man, you've been a big help in getting my Ender 3 S1 tuned up with Klipper. Thank you!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

I love to hear it! Thank you so much for taking the time to share the experience. I take special care to try and keep my videos direct and easy to understand. It takes me a little longer than most but in the end I think it's worth it. Thanks!

[@vertex_pixel]

This is the most insane tutorial I followed yet and it works!! everything works. Thank you for all the knowledge from this video. My old CR-10s just got better.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Awesome, so glad this helps! I take time to try and make these concepts easy to understand so it's nice to hear when it works! When I switched my CR10 over to Klipper it was like night and day! It was like a whole new printer! Thanks for watching and for letting me know it helped!

[@rapalma38]

!Estuve buscando información por todos lados, es el mejor video que vi en todo KZbin, es excelente, en un solo video enseñaste mucho, te agradezco tu generosidad en compartir tu conocimiento, , mi impresora funciona excelente, saludos desde Argentina!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

¡Muchas gracias! ¡Me encanta el firmware de klipper y estoy feliz de desglosar algunos de los conceptos y módulos para ayudar a tantas personas como pueda!

[@MeGrimlock511]

Thank you! There’s something here that I haven’t seen anywhere and I believe is very important. When you are talking about maximizing the probe area, it is something that should be done as part of the setup ALWAYS. Specially if like me you installed a new horned configuration such as Voron Afterburner. Otherwise the (0,0) is totally off and prints aren’t centered

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Yup, you're absolutely right. Maximizing the print area is just one of those things we all can forget about with the other stuff we focus on, but gaining space along the build plate can be extremely important. Thanks for commenting!

[@TheWuFinancial]

Your bed mesh explanation is great.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Thank you so much! It took a lot of reading, prepping, and planning in order to get something that was concise but informative. Thank you for letting me know all the work paid off!

[@randa743]

AWESOME VID ...love how Succint and down to business you are ! Super helpful Bro..... keep em coming

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Thank you so much for the vote of confidence! I'll definitely be bringing more Klipper content very shortly, there's so much to explore!

[@MuhammadAli22931]

I have an ender and two bambus, I literally took the bambus out of the box and printing to this day 6 months later with 0 adjustments, what a time to be alive and use these next gen printers, I still find this video interesting and helpful even though I don't even have klipper :D

[@PrintsLeo3D]

It's an amazing time! I am in a similar boat (although I have a few more Enders and other printers... actually a lot more lol), and I love this stuff. The advancements that BambuLabs have made is really going to accelerate the market to match what they have created. What I love about Klipper firmware is I think this is the firmware of those next gen printers. It has all the features of a firmware that can handle different printer setups and configurations and handle them uniformly across platforms. Also it can be blazing fast. I appreciate you watching and maybe we can get Klipper on that Ender one day ;)

[@selcukyazc6842]

Thank you very much. This is an extremely underrated video.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Thank you so much! It's here to help, but it's people who thumbs up, and subscribe, and comment, that help these videos get pushed out to assist more people. So, thank you for the help!

[@devilik3692]

f finally i fixed my bed mesh boundaries , was driving me crazy with move out of range when trying to calibrate mesh... thank you!

[@jnielsen76]

I just made the switch to Klipper from stock Marlin. This was a great tutorial. It truly helped me adjust for my new Sprite Pro extruder's cr touch.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

That's great to hear ! Klipper really has so many tricks up it's sleeve, so I'm happy to be able to break some basics down so you can get to the fun parts a little quicker. Joshua thanks for the view and for taking time to comment !

[@andrzejandvincegaming3015]

Thank you so much for this vid mate, really helped me get my first Klipper install working as good as my tuned marlin. Now onto the juicy stuff with vibration and pressure advance :)

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Love a good first time Klipper build! Happy to hear this helped, and I have more Klipper related videos coming that will help as you move through Klipper. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

[@andrzejandvincegaming3015]

@@PrintsLeo3D looking forward to it, this is the only vid I found on really tuning mesh and bed size. I have modded my E3V2Neo with Sprite Pro so had some challenges understanding all the limits for bed size etc since print head/gantry/endstops were all out compared to stock. Anyway keep up the good work, you certainly have me subscribed!

[@LowCheese1]

Really a great video to get your new Klipper setup up and running. Well done -- subscribed.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Thank you very much! Klipper is amazing and I'm happy to help on board people however I can!

[@ok2chatt]

Thank you for this. First time using Klipper and had no idea why it was crashing into the bed and trying to go off the rails. This is very thorough and easily consumable for 3D printer Users of all skill levels.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Thanks Kevin! Klipper is really.amazing and has so many tools , and I try my best to explain them in such a way that you can hit the ground running. Appreciate the feedback and stay tuned for my Klipper related videos. Thanks!

[@The_Blue_Portal]

NGL your vid help me all this time ago. I relized that i have a bltouch that was adapted for the ender 3 board which uses the Z Endstop as the sensor_pin. I was able to use the pinout of the btt board to find out I needed to change PC14 to PC2. Even thought you didn't really document. Your troubleshooting steps led me to the correct answer so thanks

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Glad I can help, even if it's only a partial help lol Those BTT boards are really great for the documentation they provide us, those pinouts are the real hero. I'm glad you were able to take what I was doing here and help your situation!

[@TheHornet72]

I have just recently gotten into 3d printing and naturally I go all in on learning new things I am interested in. Trying to learn how to set up Klipper has been a nightmare for me having little experience with setting up firmware. I had almost given up to just go back to my original firmware setup when I found this video and the explanation and guidance was far superior to a newbie than any other heavily technical videos I had previously watched. Thank you for taking the time to help guide others on this information because you have just turned my nightmare around. I am certainly subscribing and will be digging through other videos to see what else I can learn!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Johalas thank you so much and I'm so happy I can help! 3d printing is an amazing hobby, so many aspevts and areas to it, and Klipper is another awesome avenue for you to explore. It can be a little difficult to get started with but once you get your feet under you you'll be running in no time! I am happy to give a helping hand and I hope you enjoy your printer and Klipper!!

[@TheSuburban15]

Just be happy you started with Klipper and not Marlin. Klipper is easier, believe it or not.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

I completely agree. Klipper had a higher initial barrier of entry, but once you get it everything is open for you

[@xjrdrz9147]

Thank you for this guide, the part with assigning probge as an end switch helped me alot because klipper doesn't print in negative z coordinates and bed of my printer is all in negative, it was printing in air and now it finally started to print on bed.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Awesome, and I'm glad this helped! Thanks for watching and then taking the time to let me know it helped, that feedback is the best I can ask for. Thanks!

[@S_Chand13r]

Started printing just a couple months ago. For initial setup, I used a few other tubers videos to help me. They got me into great positioning for being new. Now, I’m to a point where I want to further refine my knowledge and print accuracy. This video gives exactly what I was wanting to learn, and I’ll be working to set my system up using your instruction. Thanks for sharing this wisdom!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

That's awesome and I am happy to help! There can be a lot going on when starting to get into the 3d printing world, and taking the info in bite size chunks is the smartest way to go about it. I'm glad you found me and hopefully I can continue to produce worthwhile content to help you on the journey!

[@infocusaerialmedia8041]

This was great. Thanks Leo I did find out that the location of the BLT changes the math. I have the Biqu B1 and the BLT mounts in front and the math changed.

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Yes it does. While the formulas stay the same, the idea is flipped. I didn't want to go into it too much in the video (to not confuse anyone) so I'm glad you were able to figure that all out yourself! Happy I helped and good luck !

[@alexolaverri192]

Leo, I will also say that this has been quite helpful, in preparing my ender 3 with Klip and BLT. Thank you for taking the time to create the content you for the community. Almost to my first print with Klipper, but still need to finalize and do a few more steps. My sincerest thanks..

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Thank you so much. Really nice words, and I appreciate you taking the time to leave then here for me. Always nice to get some inspiration like this! More Klipper content on the way (pressure advance getting finished now) that I hope is just as helpful!

[@alexolaverri192]

@PrintsLeo3D no problem 😊 and looking fwd to it, keep up the good work.. its appreciated

[@orionmec]

Leo, I was having trouble understanding how to set the xy min position as my y limit takes the bed 12 or 13 mm past the bed. I had trouble with Marlin, first time setting up Klipper and guess what. Yep trouble, and I am pretty capable! Just did not seem intuitive. You cleared it up. Having watched the video I will still have to go through it while I do the actions but now I'm confident. Thank you so much, I'm now a subscriber!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Thanks Mark! The idea behind find the minimum and maximum bounds can be difficult, but ultimately it's easier to implement on Klipper. I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy your Klipper experience. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@orionmec]

@@PrintsLeo3D Leo, I do have a question. On the thorough setup of course, must be done this way!!! When you set the max travel allowing the probe to actually build the mesh properly the size of your bed.... Is it only up to you and your slicer to make sure that the nozzle does not move off the bed while printing, or is there a limit setting for this for sanity? Common sense of course tells me the model must be within the confines of the slicer (reason for printer profile). Can you shed your light on this?

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Mark your absolutely right! It's all controlled by the slicer. When we set the maximum X and Y limits those are only max movable limits, and we use those for some features, like building the widest possible bed mesh. The printable max is controlled in your slicer. Whatever size you set the X and Y bed size in your slicer is where the gcode (and nozzle) will be constrained. Finding the max printable size is as simple as moving the nozzle over the bed at the maximum distances and then transferring those coordinates into your slicer

[@orionmec]

@@PrintsLeo3D Thanks Leo. Your a great teacher and Gracious with you knowledge. Mark

Good luck! After you get these settings dialed in your Klipper experience will hopefully be buttery smooth! Thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to add something to the comment section !!

[@citizenclown]

@@PrintsLeo3D No Problem. I am going to follow this and then go do my pressure advance cal. I have printed without either, and honestly i printed a Christmas gnome with lightning infill, so very much hollow with 4 wall layers and it came out super clean, and only took 7 hours at 100mm/s, which before Klipper was around 13 hours or some such, and the quality was better with Klipper. So super happy with my upgrade. Very much a learning curve, but hey that is what tinkering is all about. Anyhow, thanks again!

[@PrintsLeo3D]

Yea Klipper gets the hype from the speed, but the quality is amazing! I was printing some Christmas gnomes on my KLP1 yesterday lol great minds think alike!

[@citizenclown]

@@PrintsLeo3D So I ran the pressure advance test using the Gcode from the website you linked, and followed the steps to ensure I got it mostly right. in my print, every single line looked exactly the same. When it started the acceleration it would thin, and when it ended the speed back to slow, it left a blob. Every line. I will test again because I had build start and end print macros, but I am going to revert back to letting the slicer call those out because when I use the end print gcode per Cura copy and paste, it errors our with some of the coding, but when the slicer does it, it runs fine. Interesting, but not the end of the world. I will work that later. Anyhow, Just wanted to let you know the weird experience to see if you'd seen that before. I use a direct drive, so .005 step increments.

[@spykerwolf]

Can't believe you only have 3k subscribers, amazing video thank you. Finally able to print now that I have a perfect first layer, thanks again!
